Shadow Patterns

The Evolution of Shadow Resolution

A 4-week Online Course with Kim Barta

Registration is Now Closed

Deepening Your Shadow Resolution Work—at Every Level of Your Development

One of the strengths of the STAGES Model is how well it shows that every shadow has a development level—even the later levels. STAGES is extraordinarily good at pinpointing these levels, which is essential for the healing process. This approach to shadow is part of all of the STAGES trainings we offer.

Although being able to pinpoint the level of your shadow is essential, full resolution of shadow issues often requires an even more nuanced approach that can deal with the particulars of how the shadow came to be created but then hidden from conscious awareness. Not just shadow rooted in early childhood, but also shadow that arises at later stages. This is especially important if you are on a spiritual path because shadow associated with later stages is usually more subtle. And there may be a tendency to believe that resolution of lower level shadow issues is the end of shadow work. This blind spot can create much difficulty as we evolve into later stages.

In this new course you will learn:

The best techniques to use for each class of shadow and the specific steps in your healing process

How using a technique that works well for one class of shadow may actually be harmful in working with another class

Every shadow healing technique is usually adaptive to only one class of shadow. In addition, each technique is generally only sufficient for one or two steps along the path of shadow resolution.

That path is:

Unaware

Aware of symptoms

Aware of external triggers

Aware of one’s internal process

Conscious conceptualization

Each step has substeps to it and specific ways that help and /or hinder it.

The intersection between classes of shadow issues and the sequential evolutionary pattern will give you a comprehensive map for understanding what to do and when to do it in the process of discovering and resolving your shadow.

The techniques that Kim will teach in this course can significantly accelerate shadow resolution. He’s been refining his approach for years and will be publishing a book on shadow resolution next spring. Kim’s approach is not just for early childhood shadow. Anyone who is growing beyond conventional stages will encounter new and subtler kinds of shadow at each new stage. Kim’s approach is beautifully effective across all stages because it uncovers the shadow patterns that repeat at every stage.

We’d really like to get the word out about Kim’s work so we are making an unusual offer: If you register for the course you will be able to invite a friend to join the course for free. The only stipulation is that your friend can’t already be on our email list. We’ll provide the details after you register. Click the Register button above to get started.
